Netcare | All about execution
Netcare delivered a credible set of results given persistent pressures from medical funders and affordability. In our view, Netcare is the purest play on the SA hospital industry, given the location of its beds (good), ability to drive occupancies and unguarded balance sheet. Netcare has recently been added as one of two anchor providers for the Government Employee Medical Scheme EVO plan in 2020, a key step to increasing occupancies.

Healthcare | Rising off a low base
Our views around Mediclinic Switzerland (MEISW) have evolved guided by evidence that MEISW is delivering on its turnaround strategy by generating c.14% EBITDA margin for H1 20f.

Since Jan ‘19 LHC has benefited from the inclusion c.470...

Healthcare | Amputate, cauterise or euthanise?
Healthcare demand is inelastic, representing one of society's most basic needs. Despite 1.5% annual population growth and an ageing affluent consumer, occupancies for South Africa's (SA) private healthcare providers have weakened to c.70% of capacity from c.72% in 2015 due to static medical scheme covered lives in SA at c.9m. By filling unused capacity, SA's private healthcare providers could care for an additional c.7.7m South Africans. Considering that c.44m South Africans depend on the pub...
